The National Women’s League donated NT$617 million (US$21.07 million) to the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and its foundations over the past decade, with a foundation established by former president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) receiving NT$11 million, the Ill-gotten Party Assets Settlement Committee’s investigation has found.

League ledgers documenting finances and donations over the past 10 years showed that the league under former chairwoman Cecilia Koo (辜嚴倬雲) had made a large number of donations to organizations founded by the KMT, making it one of the KMT “small coffers,” the committee said.

It issued a stern notice to the Koo family to return the league’s financial records prior to 2006, which went missing in May last year after Koo had them moved to Taiwan Cement Corp’s Taipei headquarters.

The committee would this week charge the Koo family with destroying evidence if they fail to return the missing documents, it said.    [FULL  STORY]
